Go to Cothay Manor Gardens
I think this is one of the most beautiful gardens in Britain! Approached by winding country lanes, you suddenly arrive at a moated, medieval manor and the gardens are astounding.
The owners are working incredibly hard to restore these gardens. I haven't visited in spring, but I understand that the tulips are absolutely magnificent.
When I visited the gardens were looking stunning - it's the planting, the manor as the backdrop, the topiary and the meadow planting that make this place so special. Well worth making a detour for!!




(5.0/5)Excellent Arts & Crafts style garden,and beyond the Yew hedges more relaxed spacious areas for a little Arboretum [across the bridge]
Lots of interesting plants and trees.
Some areas seem to have an almost studied air of shabby chic, but its OK !
Def worth visiting..the place oozes with history !




(4.0/5)A lovely romantic english garden with colourful herbaceous borders and a number of garden rooms each one with its own character but together they form a delightful peaceful and inspirational place.
